BATON ROUGE - Senior Tyler Russell has been cleared to play since before the Auburn game on Sept. 14, but he has not played since getting a concussion in the season opening loss to Oklahoma State on Aug. 31.

Coach Dan Mullen said this week that Russell will start against No. 10 LSU (4-1, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) at 6 p.m. Saturday on ESPN at Mississippi State (2-2, 0-1 SEC). Russell has been practicing for more than two weeks, but he has not played since completing 10 of 16 passes for 133 yards and an interception against Oklahoma State.
